(Translated from Barrikade to highlight activism for refugees' rights and conditions facing migrants in Europe https://barrikade.info/Aktionsruckblick-Aktionen-gegen-Grenzen-fur-pol-Gefangene-und-Gedenken-an-Suruc-1286) On Wednesday night, we placed signs in various public baths and along the Aare, which forbid mooring with boats as well as the rescue of drowning people. In this way we want to draw attention to the inhumane and murderous policies on the European external borders Nationalist politics once again shows its murderous face! Europe's right-wing governments are tightening their foreclosure policy and causing thousands of people to die at European external borders. The depressing, temporary climax was reached when private rescue ships with fugitives were forbidden to break into a harbor or even set sail. The result was hundreds of dead refugees in June this year. Central to this policy are the new governments of Italy, Austria and Ger...

Over 200 socialist, communist, green, social-democratic and labour parties and organisations from 93 countries with a combined membership of over 150 million people have condemned or spoken out against Saturday's attack on Syria by the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Israel, according to statements posted on the websites of the parties or their parent organizations involved. The parties come from a wide swath of the ideological spectrum, from the most reformist to the most revolutionary, and from all continents bar Antarctica. Although they obviously have wide differences in policy- nobody can say the Chinese Communist Party has the same perspective as the Green Party of England and Wales, or the Popular Front for The Liberation of Palestine, the commitment of so many left-wing political organisations to anti-imperialist principles or at the least basic international law is a sign that left unity is not only possible, but necessary on the issue of opposing a pot...

The Trump Administration's recent attempts to achieve "energy dominance" via fracking and gas exports has been rightly met with serious concerns by environmentalists throughout Europe and the wider world as a move that will put the environment in peril and hold Europeans hostage to US exports. What has received less attention, although it is equally significant, is fracking's potential to forever undermine the chances for Third World sovereignty, Palestinian activism, and a global redistribution of wealth under a regime of degrowth. In July 2017, the Trump administration unveiled the term "energy dominance" to describe a key plank in the American plan for global economic and strategic hegemony. But although the State Department under former Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson has pushed the policy into the limelight, it has long been an aim of the US, especially under President Obama, whose TTIP and TPP trade deals would have greatly aided American companies, l...
